VICTIMS OF SOUTHERN WRECK
Several of Them Well Known in
Amerieus.
> l he terrible wreck on the Southern
Bailway late Saturday night, wherein
nearly forty lives were lost, was gen
erally discussed iu Amerieus yestorday
when all tho fearful details and enor
mous loss of life were made known. It
was indeed a horrible catastrophe.
It wa?, perhaps, tho worst wreck that
has occurred iu recent years, both iu
property loss and tho loss of life.
Ibo train plunged into a chasm
without warning and very few aboard,
escaped death by lire or by elrowniug.
Tho total of fatalities last night was
placed at thirty-bye.
Some of thoso who went elowu to an
awful death with tile ill fated train
were well known iu Americets. Capt
AA. AA. Ipatk, of Mscod, a popular
traveling salesman, was biirneel to
death. Mr. J. C. Flynn, of Flovilla,
among thoso saved, was also very well
known here.
A fatality appears to hover over ti e
sceno of this latest accident, which is
two miles uortli of McDonongli and
twenty-two miles out of Atlanta.
Tn a fearful wreck occurring there
several years ago Mr?. C. AV. Hancock,
who lind formerly resided iu Amoricup,
was among tho passengers killeil. A
tiny creek, spanned by a large stone
culvert, is transformed into a raging
torrent duriug a freshet, a.? was tho
case oa Saturday night.
Ami into this the entire train plunged
down fifty feot.
It is a remarkable fact that nearly
every one of the train crew, eDgmetr,
conductor and all, perished, while the
few who escapod with their lives were
aboard the Pullman sleeper at the rear.
Only one end of this ear remained
above the turbid waters.
Tho history of radroael accideuts iu
the South scareeiy records a catastro
phe bo fatal, noristhore hardly an in
stance in tho coiiatry where a larger
percentage of the passengers on a train
were killed in one w reck.
PURCHASED A SUBURBAN FARM.
Merchant Will Try His Hand at Beans
and Cabbage
Mr. John Daniel purchased yester
day a very desirable little suburban
farm of thirty acre?, owned by Mrs.
T. 51. Furlow, giving iu exebango a
city lot and dwelling on Church street,
near Brown. Mr. Daniel is not much
as a raiser, haviog raised nothing ns
yet except a luxuriant mustache and
hopes of the hereafter, but will now
try his hand at raising potatoes and
other truck. It is a pretty suburban
home, jnst out Forsyth street, and his
determination to live there alone is to
be deplored.
WILL GATHER FIFIY BUSHELS.
Net Yield Per Acre of a Corn Field in
the City.
Sir. Geo I) AA’houtley is perhaps a
better merchant than farmer, though
he is establishing an enviable reputa
tion iu tlio latter lino as well, as evi
denced by n magmticout field of corn
out Lee street The field coutains
nearly six acreB and just now promises
a yield of fifty bushels per acre, and
perhaps more. The rows are 4',. feet
and the com is planted two feet in the
drill, each stalk containing from twb to
live ears The laud is well improved,
and tho crop of corn is tho admiration
of all passers-by
PRICE OF WHEAT STILL JUMP?.
May Reach a Dollar Per Bushel at
an Early Date-
Farmers about Amerieus who raised
a surplus of wheat this year may get a
dollar per lmshel for it ere long, a«,
owing to the destruction ef a large part
of the crop in the wheat region prices
are steaddy advancing. AYlthiu tho
past two weeks the price of wheat has
gone up 22 cents per bushel, and with
the prospect of a corner in the market
may keep bounding, the crop iu the
Northwest is a failure, and prices of
wheat may yet go soaring far beyond
the $.
